Pink Envelope

One Sunday, while counting the money in the weekly offering, the pastor of a small church found a pink envelope containing $1000. It happened again the next week. The following Sunday, he watched as the offering was collected and saw a little old lady put the distinctive pink envelope in the plate.

This went on for weeks until the pastor, overcome by curiosity, approached her.  'Ma'am, I couldn't help but notice that you put $1,000 a week in the collection plate, he stated.

'Why yes,' she replied, 'every week my son sends me money, and I give some of it to the church.'

The pastor replied, 'That's wonderful, how much does he send you?'

The old lady said, '$10,000 a week.'

The pastor was amazed. 'Your son is very successful;

what does he do for a living?'

'He is a veterinarian,' she answered.

'That is an honorable profession,' the pastor said.  Where does he practice?'

The old lady said proudly, 'In Nevada . He has two cat houses in Las Vegas and one in Reno.
